GO BEYOND

A video tool-kit for creating multi-sensory immersive live music from Revelland

In 2019, three artists embarked on a journey to take their live gigs to a whole other level. In collaboration with top-notch sense specialists and people with limitations, KNARS (NL), KRANKk (BE), and Perhaps Contraption (UK) transformed their live performances into immersive, sensory, and accessible experiences. By drawing inspiration from the way people with limitations, for example, deaf or blind people, experience live music, Revelland now introduces the Go Beyond video series. Are you ready to transform how you think about your music and gigs forever? Tune in to the first episode below.

Ronald Ligtenberg

Defined as “accessibility in such a way that multiple groups can benefit”, Possibilize coined the term Creative Accessibility. By looking at performing arts, culture, the creative sector – and the world for that matter – from an inclusive point of view, Possibilize CEO Ronald Ligtenberg challenges you to ask the simple question: How do we get a disabled person to truly participate and how can we use their situation as a source of inspiration to enrich the cultural sector?

ARTISTS PERSPECTIVE

With a team of sense specialists including Stephanie Singer, Adam Thomason and Sarah McCartney, the artists were able to incorporate new elements to their performances and create new dimensions, enriching the experience for the whole audience by deepening their emotional connection with the music. In this video, Thomas Geysen and Christo Squier share insights about their process and the results.
